ON THE TOUR This is a shuttle tour, but you will be walking & standing during the tour too
Spendthrift Farm welcomes you to immerse yourself in the historical culture of thoroughbred breeding on this tour of the stallion complex.
This one-hour tram ride will take you around the historic 1200-acre Spendthrift Farm where you will learn about the farm’s past while meeting the farm’s future. The tour begins at the Spendthrift office, which was once our founder’s home, then you will hop on ‘Speedthrift’, the Spendthrift Farm shuttle, and pass by the iconic stallion complex and ‘Nashua Motel’, then travel onto the backside of Spendthrift to visit with our broodmares and foals! Breeders’ Cup Classic champion White Abbario is one of the many greats bred and raised at Spendthrift Farm, and you never know what future champion you will meet on this tour.
On this tour, the tram will make frequent stops where you will be able to be hands-on with the mares and foals, feeding treats and creating unforgettable moments. Outside treats are not allowed.
Please note: Beholder, Monomoy Girl and the stallions are not included in this tour.
